they both support the same foreign policy. i think the problem we have with benghazi is we should have recognized first is we shouldn't have supported the rebels and then get involved. then we ignored all the warnings. and whether we cut a couple dollars back, we never cut anything. we might have cut some increases. that is all. but we should have recognized the danger. we should have had those people out of there. other countries knew it was dangerous. and for us to have stayed there is foolish, but to blame republicans or to blame the democrats back and forth, i don't think that's as accurate as saying whether it's the federal reserve policy, whether it's suspending policy or whether it's the welfare system, whether it's the foreign system, it's very, very bipartisan. see, we've had too much bipartisanship and compromising in washington because they support the same issues. the only thing they don't support is people who get to pass out the money, and they do fight over the power and the influence, but policies never change.

to what extent does this represent an increase in militarization of foreign policy? >> this is a very big question. question on is the drone approach in yemen and more broadly elsewhere, a reflection of a broader shift of foreign policy that shows a greater marltization? -- militarization. >> i think you're definitely on to something. there are things i can point to. using drone strikes, using air strikes is a way that the u.s. can effectively combat its enemies without putting american forces at risk and without sort of suffering the casualties that we've seen in iraq and afghanistan. and while i think that may be true long term i had great concerns about the potential blowback from those actions and what the casualty account will be. that is a difficult argument to make. we're still at the point where we haven't seen all of the repercussions that are taking place from these attacks. but i do think there will be unfortunately i think there will be repercussions. the other thing i would note is that i think obviously given the situation in libya and benghazi, there a
